    Franks suggestion about the test wheel is the best/safest method for sure. But, those test wheels are tough to find, and usually command more money than you probably want to pay…The test wheel puts a load on the engine while running in gear without pushing the boat forward. This way, you can tie the boat to the dock, put it in gear and raise the throttle up to check timing/fuel issues, etc…
    I will look on ebay, perhaps there is one priced reasonably…
